I’ve been playing it sporadically over the past 10 years and I’d say it’s a lot of fun! Very easy to get into, even for people with little strategy experience. The mechanics are clear and not overly complex; for beginners and intermediate players I feel like it’s just the right balance.

It also runs on pretty much anything (as demonstrated^), so I like having it installed and playing a short skirmish for 20-30’ if I’m bored. Alternatively, there’s plenty of decent campaigns, and a lot of fan content (and a map editor if you want to try your hands at it).

I’ve only played it a computer though, so not sure how well the interface works for touchscreens.

It certainly has a learning curve, and not everything is well designed. However, I think that’s unfortunately to be expected of the whole domain; ERP tends to be one of the most complex types of software. The question is, which option makes this whole complexity less painful/overwhelming.

For the scope, features and breadth that Odoo offers, I think it’s doing a decent job (albeit with lots of room for improvement).

Is there any alternative ERP system of a ~comparable scope that you could alternatively recommend? Python-based is ideal, but other languages are also fine.
